Cementing of the hip arthroplasty stem increases load-to-failure force: a cadaveric study.
Article in Acta orthopaedica, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and purpose - To date, there is not a single clinical or mechanical study directly comparing a cemented and a cementless version of the same stem. We investigated the load-to-failure force of a cementless and a cemented version of a double tapered stem. Material and methods - 10 femurs from 5 human cadaveric specimens, mean age 74 years (68-79) were extracted. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured using peripheral quantitative computed tomography. None of the specimens had a compromised quality (average T value 0.0, -1.0 to 1.4). Each specimen from a pair randomly received a cemented or a cementless version of the same stem. A material testing machine was used for lateral load-to-failure test of up to a maximal load of 5.0 kN. Results - Average load-to-failure of the cemented stem was 2.8 kN (2.3-3.2) and 2.2 kN (1.8-2.8) for the cementless stem (p = 0.002). The cemented version of the stem sustained a higher load than its cementless counterpart in all cases. Failure force was not statistically significantly correlated to BMD (p = 0.07). Interpretation - Implanting a cemented version of the stem increases the load-to-failure force by 25%.
